(this is a photo story that was on my IG a while back–I’m catching my blog up!) The Way Home gang neither understands the rules of baseball nor are they athletically inclined, but they organized a friendly game nonetheless. Unsurprisingly, Mrs. Blodgett took the entire thing very seriously, made it about food, and unintentionally implied something concerning the… late? Mr. Blodgett?
My saggy paunchy creature body is back and this time it’s in the form of adorable hedgie Gaston.
This body style is so fun–soft, plump, and full of beans! This body style doesn’t lend itself to being dressed in typical baby clothes, but I made it such that it works well on its own. In the past, I’ve also made belly shirts to go with this body style.
I love all of the mole rats and have been wanting to make a naked mole rat for years. It finally happened! Keith will be available in my July shop drop. He is made with a non-jointed, semi-floppy body that is smaller than my usual creature dolls. He can fit in preemie size clothing and some newborn size clothing. He is made of high-quality minky fabric. Keith features many hand-stitched wrinkles, thread sculpting and other details to give him the perfect look. Keith’s legs, arms and head are firmly stuffed, while his body is lined and filled with a lot of pellets, making him heavier and more “sloshy” than my usual dolls.
Meet four creatures who will be available in my July shop drop: Earl, Dustin, Dennis and Dale!
They’ll all be ready to be adopted on Sunday, June 11th in my Etsy shop

Barclay was inspired by the Fabrosaurus dinosaur.
The dust having settled, Mother Willard is back at home base, packing away her disguises and drafting a letter to her confused children. She took a moment to look at a precious memento before tucking it back in the drawer along with her various IDs.
School’s not quite out for the summer and Ms. Willette is the new head teacher at the Way Home Academy of Big Feelings. All four pupils will soon be available for adoption so be sure to sign up for my mailing list to get details on when/where and how to buy!
Rusty and Willard finally got to catch up and have a heart to heart about the Mother Willard fiasco. Rusty brought all of his best crystals and made a special spell jar just for the occasion. He waved a moonstone tower around and muttered something about bathing Willard in love and light, and fashioned a little altar to hold mother Willard in safety and peace, whether she likes it or not. All Willard knows is he felt better after the whole thing, plus now he’s also got a new thing to shop online for (crystals).
With Mother Willard still at large, Willard and Willette had to return to regular life. What better way to shake off the disappointment than to get his vegetable garden all ready to go.
Willard’s favorite vegetable to grow is purple pak choi, and his least favorite are snap peas only because Ms. Blodgett steals them!
As we saw in the Instagram video below, Mother Willard wasn’t able to stick with the planned family outing and instead jumped out of the truck and hid in the bushes.
Later, a mysterious woman stopped at the Way Home General store to purchase a soda.
That day, frantic Willard and Willette looked everywhere for their mother and even distributed “missing” posters. They brought one to Marty.
Marty couldn’t put his finger on it, but something looked awfully familiar about this creature…
